I'm sorry that you misread my comment as some kind of fanboy rant.
I'm not saying that Halo Wars is a bad game or that people were deceived. What I know is that a lot of people love Halo 3 and still play it religiously. Therefore given the opportunity to get 3 new maps early is the reason a lot of people bought Halo Wars, and in turn realized that HW is actually a really good game. Possibly a game they would have passed on without the inclusion of the 3 maps (just as they may hav...
This is dumb. If Infinity Ward released a CoD4 map pack next week, that would be the #1 game being played. This just proves that Halo Wars was bought more for the Halo 3 maps than the actual Halo Wars game.
Microsoft should have advertised it like this: Buy the new Halo 3 map pack for $80 and get Halo Wars free!!!
Comcast does not have the fastest internet in the country. Charter Communications is currently offering 60Mbps in St. Louis, MO (60Mbps nationwide by end of '09) and 20Mbps nationwide. Both are faster than what Comcast offers right now.
I just wish that they would change the squad function. Make it expandable up to 8 or 12. And allow people not in a squad to talk to everyone on the team.
WaW sucks. That game lasted just long enough to get the trophies. Killzone 2 is where it's at.
Quick time events for every enemy? Looks scripted.
It's hard to pick between FFX and Xenogears. My favorite Rpg's of all time. I think I would go back and play FFX again before Xenogears just becuase I love having a game that is all voice acted. Really gave the characters personality. Amazing games, both of them.
This is what will continue to plague the 360 when PS3 is the lead console.
I love the controls. After 17 hrs online with this, I will never play CoD again.
And guess what, if you do not agree with me go back to CoD or whatever game you prefer. It's your money and your time, play what you want.
Games will always be different from each other, either adapt or shut up. I don't care what you think.
I would have to say that is brilliant of M$ to make the LE Halo Wars the only way to get the new maps early. It is clear to me that this tactic alone has pushed the sales of Halo Wars.
Die hard fans will pay anything to avoid waiting longer. I remember when I bought a HDD for my PS2 so I could get the new Socom 3 maps. (which also required buying 3 separate magazines which held the maps) $115 for 3 Socom Maps, I'm an idiot.
I own a PS3 and I agree that Sony has, and has always had, the best exclusives from generation to generation. But to write this comparison and not bother listing the top 360 exclusives is lazy and unacceptable. You can't mention Flower as an exclusive and leave out Braid, how can you leave out Halo, how about Mass Effect, Fable, Forza, or PGR. Games like Blue Dragon, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Left 4 Dead. Now I've never owend an xbox or played any of those games, but I still know about them. And th...
It's demographics. 360's primary age demo is 12-24 and PS3's demo is 18-32. More Ps3 gamers have careers and responsibilities that take priority over going to a midnight launch. I'm 29 and married with two kids. I stopped going to midnight launches after I finished school. Too much to do now than to worry about getting a video game at midnight. So to say that a launch was a failure because of the amount of midnight purchases is ridiculous. That's the kind of thing I would expect to hear out o...
Come join the adults.

You are not wrong about that.
I would also like to see reviewers only review games that are from a genre that they enjoy. Or if it's not something that they typically play, qualify it with an explanation of like " I usually don't play these types of games, but...".
*18 - record for longest flame resistant discussion in N4G history.
this is what games should be scored on. this and only this. i don't need to know what one game has over the other, just tell me if it's fun and has enough replay value to make it worth my money. I would love to see a 3 star rating system.
3 stars = great/must play
2 stars = good/highly recommended
1 star = average/niche
0 stars = rent/don't bother cause its garbage
Look, stop b!tching about the reviews. The reason that the game is being picked apart for "originality", "lack of co-op", and other retarded issues. Most of which never matter in other game reviews, is because of the insane hype that has built up over the last 3 years for this game. Hype that has skyrocketed the past 3 months because of the same people that are now b!tching about the reviews not being 11's.
Now let me say that I have never owned an Xbox and I ...
I like that he said they don't announce things early and like to keep things close to the vest.
How long have we been hearing about Halo Wars (sept. 27th 2006) and Halo ODST (oct. 9th 2008 due maybe by end of '09)? Oh yeah, and that other game they mentioned at E3, FF13, how close is that to being released? It's probably already out since M$ doesn't announce things unless they are ready to ship within a few months.
Gabe Newell can lick my taint. I wouldn't buy his games just because he's a D-bag.
